ਹੋਰੁ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਸੂਝੈ ॥
hor du-aaraa ko-ay na soojhai.
I cannot conceive of any other door.
ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਧਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਬੂਝੈ ॥
taribhavan Dhaavai taa kichhoo na boojhai.
One who wanders through the three worlds, understands nothing.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਹੁ ਭੰਡਾਰੁ ਨਾਮ ਜਿਸੁ ਇਹੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਤਿਸੈ ਤੇ ਪਾਇਣਾ ॥੪॥
satgur saahu bhandaar naam jis ih ratan tisai tay paa-inaa. ||4||
The True Guru is the banker, with the treasure of the Naam. This jewel is obtained from Him. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I cannot picture any other door worth knocking on.
You could roam the whole wide world and still not find what you are looking for.
The True Guru is the banker who holds the treasure of the Naam, and this jewel comes from the Guru.
You could roam the whole world; the treasure you seek is given at one door.
No other door comes to mind; one could wander the three worlds and understand nothing. The True Guru is the saahu, the banker who holds the treasure of the Name, and this ratan, this jewel, is given from there. What you search far and wide for is handed over at one door.
A Question to Sit With
What have you searched far and wide for that was closer than you thought?
